08 - What is tmux and how to use it in macOS
What is tmux and why do I use it?
Tmux is a terminal multiplexer, I use it to create different windows and sessions to work on different tasks.
Tmux has what is known as the command mode. In this mode you enter tmux commands or shortcuts that perform different actions
To enter command mode you press ctrl+b
In the karabiner video we configured my keymappings, so I use hyper+b instead. It’s easier to type
Demonstration in the video, I cover:
How tmux is useful when sshing to multiple hosts
Synchronize commands across panes
Have 2 files open to compare or work with
Have different windows open with different workloads
Install
We already installed tmux when we ran the installed multiple apps with brew (video 3)
Notice the green line at the bottom
My tmux configuration file is already pointing to the file that we cloned from my dotfiles-public repo as seen below
So now I need to install the tmux plugin manager, so that the theme I have configured gets applied, and other tmux plugins are also installed
tmux configuration file
We’ll go over the tmux configuration file in the video. I have comments In the file that will help you navigate around and better use tmux
